I just came out of the cinema after watching the movie for the first time. It was an okay movie. I don’t understand the reason behind the rating as there weren’t that many bloody or horrifying scenes.

As to why I’m rating it a 6/10.

The present day scenes felt disconnected from the story and barely believable. I have noticed that the scenes from the 60ties tend to follow the music and I suppose it’s difficult to forge a connection between modern day Soho and music that was written 60 years ago.

I loved the visuals for the 60ties. I also think that the cast did an amazing job. Matt Smith makes a good villain, he has the face and the presence for it.

Storyline was weak. The twist with the retired police officer was pointless in all honesty. I find it difficult to care for a character I saw briefly in passing. His character story was undeveloped or maybe a lot of context was lost during editing. We will never know. Another part that pulled me out of the story was the moment the male ghosts started talking and begging for help. Ellie was always portrayed as someone who was sympathetic to Sandy, having seen her life and in a way walked in Sandy’s shoes, even if not physically.

So yeah. It’s an okay movie but that’s just my experience. Feel free to give it a try and don’t let my opinion colour your expectations.
